Lately I've been asking myself the question, What do I do first?
It feels like there are always a million things to do, and several of them should be done right now. Like...
the laundry
dishes
playing with my kids
paying the bills
making some phone calls
writing a few letters
unpacking
and then the myriad of other things that would be nice, but so often get swept to the side, such as
writing on my blog
taking photos
getting time away for myself
getting time away with my hubby
cleaning the house
playing the piano
finishing my cross-stitch pieces
learning how to sew
working on a garden
cutting my sons' hair
and on and on it goes....
While I was pondering over this dilemma today, I heard God say to me, Why don't you take a moment with ME? Follow ME first, and I will give you all these things. I will give you peace. I will direct your paths.
No wonder it felt like too much. I've been trying to do it all without God. I had left Him at church...but suddenly, life didn't seem so overwhelming, I felt at peace, and I realized what needs to be done first. So please excuse me while I go spend a few minutes on my knees.
